Cute. Require that Intelligent design be given extraordinarily unfair treatment by skipping the equal and fair treatment it gets with evolutionary biology in the scientific forum entirely, and getting a free pass into the elementary and secondary schools where it will be taught as if it had passed the same scientific muster as all other science that is taught there.
And only then require it to get equal treatment. I.e. teach it as if it has as much evidential and scientific support as evolutionary biology does, even though it most certainly does not.
You gotta love how creotatrds and IDiots play with language like this, so as to try to make what they are doing sound as if it was all fair and above board! (At least if it wasn't resulting in so much intellectual harm!)
